I, arborea, sp. nov. 



Testaceous, a broad dark brown stripe laterally on genae 

 through eyes to posterolateral angle of scutellum. Eyes and 

 clypeus blackish brown. Tegmina hyaline, milky, a somewhat 

 faint mediolongitudinal smoky stripe : some veins sanguineous, 

 some yellowish. 



Length : 2\ mill to apex of abdomen, 5 to apex of tegmina. 



Hab: Queensland. Kuranda (viii) on trees. 



2. viticusis. sp. nov. (PI. XX\^III, figs. 1-3). 



Closely allied to the type ,b,ut the vertex is broader and not so 

 convergent anteriorly; also the ventral part of the frons is prac- 

 tically parallel throughout, while in arborea it is narrower at the 

 eyes, widening a little apicallv and basally. The eyes are also 

 set closer to the clypeus and the antennae are shorter. 



Pale yellowish, disk of head more testaceous ; lateral stripe on 

 head and nota as in arborea. Tegmina as in the latter, but the 

 median stripe darker and more distinct. 



Length : 5 mill. 



Hab: Viti Lsles (iii). 



There are two or three other species from Cairns, etc.. with 

 different head structure 'but in imperfect condition for describ- 

 ing. 



Herona.r, gen. nov. 



Allied to Patara Westwood'^ but the venation is different. 



Head produced in front of eyes, vertex triangular, disk exca- 

 vate, wider at base than an eye; there is no transverse carina 

 dividing vertex from frons. but the latter is suddenly more shal- 

 low and the lateral kee'ls are almost contiguous. Antennae 

 articulated close to clypeus. second segment subcylindric, elon- 

 gate, about three-fourths the length of the frons, not (or very 

 slightly) sinuate apically. Scutellum with one (3?) obscure keel. 

 Type parnassius. 



\ . parnassius. sp. nov. 



Whitish testaceous, more or less sordidly infuscate. Tegmina 

 with brownish spots on the costal ce'l, an irregular brownish

 (PL 9, f. 9 a) is obviously incorrect; Westwood says "Articulo prime annuliformi," as of 

 course one would expect.
